9-3s (in your case Viggen, whatever, same car, d'frent motor) can't handle the heat. Both master & slave clutch cylinder got roasted by the heat and self-destructed.
In the 100+ deg temp weather, the car repeated overheated. Next time I go on a track, I'm going to run a 75/25 water/coolant ratio & toss in a bottle of Redline Water Wetter. OTOH, I had ZERO problem of brake fade w/ my Brembo big brake kit. Used Ford Motorcraft Hi-performance DOT-3 fluid. Cheap, high dry boiling point.
I absolutely do NOT agree w/ what WW is saying about 'race cars'. Any car can be turned into a 'race car'. Take a look at the current Speed World Cup or the Showroom Stock classes of SCCA. Viggen shouldn't be an exception. All I can say is that my underengineered Swedish car doesn't last in extreme conditions.
